Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of TPU film production line technology, and in particular to a tension adjustment device for a TPU film production line. Background Technology

[0002] TPU is a polymer material formed by the reaction of diisocyanate, macromolecular polyol and chain extender. It has properties such as high tensile strength, wear resistance, cold resistance and oil resistance. It is widely used in medical, electronic and industrial fields. In the film production process, the high elasticity and extensibility of TPU require extremely high uniformity of tension. Therefore, a tension adjustment device is needed to adjust the tension to the required state, thereby ensuring product quality.

[0003] Existing structures for adjusting the height of the pressure roller mostly use a cylinder-driven rack and pinion system. Although this method improves stability through gear locking, it relies on a pneumatic system, which limits the adjustment speed and cannot be adapted to high-speed production lines. Furthermore, the gear and rack structure is relatively complex, resulting in high maintenance costs. To address this issue, the inventors designed a tension adjustment device for a TPU film production line. Utility Model Content

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment is a tension adjustment device for a TPU film production line, comprising:

[0029] Tensioning assembly, including frame 11;

[0030] The adjustment assembly is located on the top of one side of the frame 11 and includes a mounting bracket 21, an electric push rod 22, a connecting plate 23, and a movable column 24. The mounting bracket 21 is fixed at both ends of one side of the upper surface of the frame 11. There are two sets of mounting brackets 21. The electric push rod 22 is fixed on the other side of the upper surface of any set of mounting brackets 21. The connecting plate 23 is fixed at the output end of the electric push rod 22. The movable column 24 is fixed on the upper surface of the connecting plate 23.

[0031] Mounting bracket 21 provides a mounting base for electric push rod 22 and guide column 26. Electric push rod 22 serves as a power source, driving connecting plate 23 to move up and down through its output end, thereby realizing the electric adjustment of the height of pressure roller 16. Connecting plate 23 connects electric push rod 22 and movable column 24, transmitting the linear motion of push rod to movable column 24, which drives pressure roller 16 to rise and fall. Movable column 24 is slidably connected in movable groove 15 of mounting plate 14, and its vertical displacement directly changes the height of pressure roller 16, thereby adjusting the tension.

[0032] It also includes a reinforcement component located on one side inside the mounting bracket 21. The reinforcement component includes a motor 31, a ball screw 32, a moving column 33, and a limiting column 35. The motor 31 is fixed on one side of the inner surface of any set of mounting brackets 21, the ball screw 32 is fixed on the output end of the motor 31, the moving column 33 is fixed on the outer surface of the nut of the ball screw 32, and the limiting column 35 is fixed on the outer surface of the moving column 33.

[0033] Motor 31 serves as a power source to drive ball screw 32 to rotate. Ball screw 32 converts the rotational motion of motor 31 into the linear motion of nut, which in turn drives moving column 33 to move horizontally. Moving column 33 moves horizontally with ball screw 32, pushing limit column 35 into or out of limit hole 34.

[0034] The movable column 24 has a limiting hole 34 inside, the limiting holes 34 are evenly distributed, and the limiting column 35 is connected inside the top limiting hole 34;

[0035] The limiting hole 34 is used for the limiting post 35 to pass through the interior of the movable post 24. The limiting post 35 is used to lock the position of the movable post 24 to prevent the height of the pressing roller 16 from shifting due to external force or vibration.

[0036] The tensioning assembly also includes a support plate 12, a conveyor roller 13, and a mounting plate 14; the support plate 12 is fixed to the top of the outer surface of the frame 11, the conveyor roller 13 is disposed on the inner side of the support plate 12, and the mounting plate 14 is fixed to the outer surface of one side of the support plate 12.

[0037] The support plate 12 is used to mount the conveyor roller 13 and the mounting plate 14, providing basic support for the film conveying path. The conveyor roller 13 drives the film to move along the set path and cooperates with the pressure roller 16 to form a clamping area, transmitting power and maintaining film tension. The mounting plate 14 is used to guide the vertical movement of the movable column 24 to ensure the accuracy of the movement trajectory of the pressure roller 16.

[0038] The mounting plate 14 has an internal movable groove 15, the movable column 24 is slidably connected to the inside of the movable groove 15, and the limiting column 35 is connected through the inside of the mounting plate 14. The mounting plate 14 is provided with a pressure roller 16.

[0039] The movable groove 15 allows the movable column 24 to move inside the mounting plate 14, moving the movable space. The pressure roller 16, by adjusting the distance between itself and the conveying roller 13, changes the film clamping force, which directly affects the tension.

[0040] A connecting groove 25 is provided inside the other side of the mounting bracket 21. A guide post 26 is slidably connected inside the connecting groove 25. The outer surface of the guide post 26 is fixed to the outer surface of the connecting plate 23.

[0041] The connecting groove 25 provides a limiting path for the movement of the guide post 26, and the guide post 26 restricts the movement direction of the movable post 24 to prevent the connecting plate 23 from shifting or shaking during movement.

[0042] Working principle: When it is necessary to adjust the height of the pressure roller 16, the connecting plate 23 is moved up and down by the electric push rod 22, which drives the movable column 24 to move inside the movable groove 15, thereby changing the height of the pressure roller 16 inside the movable column 24, so that the distance between the conveying roller 13 and the pressure roller 16 changes, thus completing the tension adjustment.

[0043] When the electric push rod 22 needs to push the connecting plate 23, the motor 31 drives the ball screw 32 to rotate, and the movable column 33 connected to the nut of the ball screw 32 moves horizontally, thereby driving the limiting column 35 to disengage from the interior of the mounting plate 14. When the movable column 24 moves to the required height, the limiting column 35 is pushed to move horizontally in the above manner. With the design of the limiting hole 34, the movable column 24 can be stably fixed in different positions inside the movable groove 15, thereby fixing the pressing roller 16 at different heights, making the overall structure of the device more robust.

[0044] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
